Don’t put off treatment and turn a small problem into a big one.

You want to feel the burn, but not the pain as you’re training.

“Remember to seek treatment at the onset of discomfort,” says acupuncturist Kendall Burleson. “Many runners try to fight through the pain they’re feeling, but this can exacerbate an otherwise fixable problem.

“Your physician, acupuncturist, physical therapist, or massage therapist may be able to treat minor aches and pains or help you correct a muscle imbalance before it causes more serious injury. We are here to help you meet your health goals, whatever those may be, and we don’t want to see you sidelined with a preventable injury,” says Burleson.
